Herman Miller Aeron review

The commenter owned a Herman Miller Aeron previously but switched to the Leap V2. They found the Aeron uncomfortable for their body type, specifically noting that the mesh seat caused pressure points and discomfort during extended sitting. The hard mesh never felt right to them, and they experienced numbness in their legs after a few hours. They much prefer the Leap's padded seat, finding it significantly more comfortable for all-day use. They acknowledge the Aeron is highly regarded but emphasize that chair comfort is very personal and body-type dependent.

Cons

  • Mesh seat caused pressure points
  • Caused leg numbness after extended sitting
  • Hard mesh uncomfortable for their body type
